The things I've learned from this video series has stuck with me over a decade, and I'm not joking that I've gotten little golden nuggets of information to this day from rewatches.

Really enjoyed the instruction on values and shapes. Also the mixing of watercolour with gouache and pastels. Looking forward to putting this method into practice.

Actually loved it! Really enjoyed the use of different mediums all together in one painting as well as abstract approach and simplification of subject. Thank you!

Marco Bucci

I'm a professional concept artist and illustrator with over 15 years of experience in the entertainment industry. I've worked with major studios including Disney, Dreamworks, and various game development companies.

What I care about most now is helping artists understand the principles behind great work. Through my courses and community, I've reached over a million artists online and helped them develop their skills and grow as artists.

No matter where you are in your practice, the way I teach fundamentals will change how you see and approach your paintings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this suitable for complete beginners? +
Of course! But if you're interested in warming up to my instruction, I think the best place to begin is at my YouTube Channel. I have many short lessons there covering a whole slew of important art fundamentals.
What supplies / software do you recommend? +
There are no absolute requirements, but I do recommend having a tablet (a product like Wacom or Huion, for example) as well as a digital painting application.

For traditional media, any brand of watercolors and gouache will work, though do not recommend student-grade paints. I use brands like Winsor&Newton, Holbein, and Daniel Smith. I also recommend using at least 140lb paper, as anything thinner will not be able to survive multiple washes.
How long do I have access? +
You get lifetime access to all courses and materials, including any future updates.
Is there a money-back guarantee? +
Yes. You can request a full refund within 15 days of purchase if you haven't consumed 50% or more of the course. See our Refund Policy for details.
Can I add a course certificate to my LinkedIn or resume? +
Yes! You will receive a Completion Certificate at the end of each course.
Do you offer one-on-one mentorships or critiques? +
I do! You can learn more and book directly here.
Do you sell your brushes? +
You bet! This course comes with my Digital Brush Pack, the same 24 brushes I use in my own paintings, for Photoshop, Procreate and Krita. If you want more, the Extended Digital Brush Pack adds 29 brushes for painterly texture, glazing and edges. It's $19 in the Brush Packs section, and it comes free with the Complete Drawing Program and the Complete Digital Painting Mastery System.
I've seen this course on other sites. What's the difference? +
It's the same course. When you buy it here, you're buying directly from Marco's team, so we can help you faster with anything about your account, files or refunds. It's a one-time payment with lifetime access, so you keep it without a subscription, and it comes with a 15-day money-back guarantee. You can also save by getting it in a bundle with bonuses like brush packs and time in Marco's Studio.
Is this Marco Bucci's official store? +
Yes. The Marco Bucci Art Store is run by Marco and his team. It's the only place to get his courses, bundles, brush packs and Marco's Studio all in one spot.
Which course should I start with? +
If you're new to drawing, start with Drawing Foundations. If you're new to painting on a tablet, start with Getting Started with Digital Painting. Both are made for beginners.
Do you have books? +
Yes! My Debt-Free Art Degree series covers Foundations in Drawing and Character Design, and I've illustrated picture books like Good Night, Forest and Norbert's Big Dream. You'll find them all on the Books page, along with my audiobook, Creativity & the Campfire, which is free to listen to.
Can I try this course before I buy it? +
Yes. Watch the free preview of this course to see how Marco teaches before you buy, or check out his free tutorials on YouTube. And if the course isn't right for you, you're covered by a 15-day money-back guarantee.
